PP photo-resizing not working?
 

I am a klutz when it comes to computers. I don't know how to resize pictures and had hopes that this would be done automatically with the new feature on PP.
Tried several times to upload a photo without success; a message comes back from PP saying that the file is too large.
My pictures are from a Olympus camera ~700kb jpeg and I use two ways to store: Windows XP "My pictures" and the Olympus Camedia master program.
Why does the "resize feature" from PP not work for me on a standard jpeg file?
Does anybody else have a problem with this?
How do you resize a photo?
Help. :confused:

Here is what I get:
You attempted to upload a file totaling 738006 bytes. This exceeds the maximum limit of 100000 bytes (100k). Please go back and select a smaller image.

????????????????????????Why???????????

It seems to work on some pictures and not others for me. I guess it will accommodate "any size" up to a point and then it rejects it. Frustrating it is.

Gunter,

After you crop/edit the .jpg click [File>save as], this should bring you to a file save box with the option of compressing the image (may have to click a "properties" button to get this option). Most I've seen are by pecentage, 10% is usually plenty to shrink the file size without real quality loss.

If you don't have a program which does this, www.irfanview.com offers a frreware that is a breeze to work with.

Ebay does it. I was not aware that this caused a problem. Maybe "any size, any dimension" should be changed?
